Installation Notes

Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation. Before installation, confirm the 10mm ball socket end style and verify the vehicle application for the 2008-2017 Buick Enclave. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original part to ensure proper alignment.
